Wish that was the All In match

 

[Emperoreddy]

Nyla Rose is basically AEW's Nattie at this point. Filler first challenger for a new champ

Mercedes vs. Hikaru Shida gonna go a second time at All Out

Very meh about it. Don’t really want to see it again unless they take the belt off Mercedes which they likely aren’t.

Would have rather had her go against someone else.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Shida/Mercedes was pretty good a couple weeks ago and it was an appetizer type of deal. I think they go All Out (heh) at the PPV.

All Out is looking real strong. Give me Claudio/Okada 2 . . . PLEASE.

 

[GKJ]

It tells me they’re planning something otherwise on a short build, might as well just feed Mercedes someone she wants to work. I figured it would be Serena Deeb.

It’s time for women’s tag belts. The roster is too deep for just 2 singles titles.

She’s here right now but she hasn’t moved here.

I don’t think Okada wants to be the guy at this moment. I think he wants to chill and have some comedy acts. Probably part of the draw of coming to AEW.

I don't blame him. He's done 12 something G1s, he was world champ more often than not which in Japan requires 20+ minute bangers on the regular, frequently going 30+ minutes and they go hard.

He's very entertaining and when called upon can still absolutely deliver in the ring (Claudio, Dax, especially Pac).

I agree 100%. It’s just been something I’ve been thinking about everytime I see it posted that Okada should be away from The Elite or featured in a more serious and prominent role.

I also agree 100% with the second statement. I’m entertained by him at the moment.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Okada is doing the same thing Nakamura did when he came stateside.

Getting a fat bag after pushing his body and abilities to the limit for ages while just being happy to wrestle regardless of where he was on the card. Can't work at the pace NJPW demands forever. Look at how broken down Tanahashi is after he was the ace for what, like a decade?

Okada has done more than enough to ensure his place among the highest echelon of wrestling legends, why not goof off a bit while being paid a small fortune?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

He also has still been protected enough that if they decided it was time to push him into the main event scene....it would take like one week and a decent story.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Okada v Fletcher for the Continental Title tomorrow night.

 

[Emperoreddy]

What's the kayfabe reason for Fletcher getting a title shot when he lost to Ricochet clean last week?

Did he have an earned one saved in the bank from an earlier win?

They are saying he earned it by beating Ishii on Collision.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I can actually agree. Fletcher getting 1 win over Ishii getting him a title shot is definitely a low bar to clear. In kayfabe it should probably be a non-title match, but Okada is gonna whoop him either way so it's fine.


In other news, would love an OC+Kyle tag team run. I know Mark won't do tag runs for obvious reasons, but I rather see OC+Kyle than Kyle going to the United Kingdom.

[GKJ]

If Daniel Garcia doesn’t go over, I don’t know what we’re doing here

 

[TheBeastCoast]

The Conglomeration is the greatest faction ever and I will hear no arguments otherwise.

 

[Fro]

Fletcher has all the tools to be a main event guy...but I think he is mispackaged

Getting more and more over with the crowd with each passing week. He isn't far off.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Fletcher booked strong, despite the L. Almost went the time limit. Okada had to use a low blow.
